The photo shows all the record labels on both sides of the records. It's not a complete set Three of the Pirates records were broken when I received them and one was missing altogether. I think I would prefer a trade if that interests you. Do you have any electrically recorded late 1920's jazz records you could part with? How about any Annette Hanshaw records as well? I'm going to the Post Office today to find out what it will cost to mail the collection. Here is a video I made of my Sonora Invincible playing one of the records from Pirates. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9NWBPmc1st4Lucius1958 wrote:Judging from the comparison, I believe my single disc is from the 1929-31 sessions...
Still interested in these discs, though. How many are there in total?

I sold the entire collection to Lucius1958. Thanks to all who inquired about the records.

Re: Gilbert and Sullivan Records
I was lucky enough to be offered my choice of 4 G&S acoustic sets from England, for the cost of shipping. Unfortunately, the shipping would have been too much for all 4, so I settled for the 1917 HMV Mikado & 1922 HMV Pinafore. Turned out I could have gotten them all, because somebody who ships regularly from England offered to let them be thrown-in with his stuff. Anyway, they are good records of very interesting performances. I later found the Mikado set as re-issued by Victor, on 12" Blue Label discs - for only $1 a disc. Some are alternate 'takes', too!
